The Haven Newcastle

Great pub and loved the room look… bed needs to be replaced … springs poking through made it tough to sleep

It was a dirty hole

Booked the honeymoon suite! Was a huge big room with lovely views to the sea and mountains

Well, where to start? First of all, it's not made clear that this is actually run by Avoca, and it's not clear that you have to go in to the pub next door to get the keys to the room. Worked that out by accident rather than design anyway, and got the keys to Room 4. Upon entering it was very clear that the room had either not been cleaned at all, or was cleaned very poorly. The first impression was that maybe somebody had just finished using it, to be honest. I had paid for a superior double: There were remnants of a "white substance" on the couch, a partially used blister packet of tablets on the bedside locker. Upon checking the bed after seeing that, the sheets were a little stained, (as was the carpet actually, and there were a few short curly hairs on the bedsheet. Also very bad pealing of the wall, presumably due to damp, at the window. I returned to the pub and requested a change of room. The staff member obliged with a change of room and we were given No 6. Not the superior room that was originally booked, only a standard double, but no partial refund was offered. I was actually told the room was the same price. On first inspection the room was at least clean so we accepted it. It was nearly 9pm so we weren't going to start looking elsewhere at that time. (Noticed the cobwebs in the ceiling lampshade later on!) On a positive note, they were very obliging to us with regards to parking our bikes securely out the back, for which we were very grateful.

Excellent in Every Way Thank You

An incredible location, free parking beside property. We went for the superior option and it was so worth it Next door is a lovely themed Irish pub same proprietor, excellent service and friendly staff. While there on a weekend they had live music on the Saturday night and being next door was perfect. So accessible directly opposite the beach with lovely views. Thank You.

Brilliant stay . Even got my hole ...

Breakfast not included and not available. We did find a good breakfast in nikis cafe on the same street but were left to find this and pay for breakfast. Not impressed

Old and dated window in bathroom didnt close ,when you used the toilet i thought the tide was coming in , handle fell of the shower, paint peeling of the walls and socket beside the bed was loose pillows where soft and flat and overall such a calamity it was funny and door handle fell off on entry 😄 but lucky only one nite

Room was very cold and the mattress had a big dip in one side. Could do with replacing. Room was clean but don’t think it was worth £120 for room only.

For a one nights stay it was fine , house was beautiful

Poor ground floor room. Basic furniture dated. No personal contact. We had a view of bins in the back yard with waste cardboard. Noise from next door pub on Saturday night outdoor smoke area backed on to my room When we did get to sleep we were woken by severe domestic row above us on first floor Will Never stay in Or recommend Little Have.

Cold dirty noisy unbelievably that hotels .com actually advertise and sell this hotel it is literally beside a bar and nightclub and unable to sleep with the noise late at night room was full of old damaged furniture and damp up the walls

Lovely stay, great location for climbing Slieve Donard. Bar next door was fantastic. Great atmosphere and food.

Property fine. Just pity we got a very rude person next door. No fault of place.

Large room, average condition but good location and view

The overall experience was good Checkin not clear Beds a bit soft

Great stay

I liked the property, I would stay again but I booked and paid for this two night stay four weeks in advance, when I went to collect the keys from the pub next door the barman said I owed another £70.He showed me no printout or proof that I owed this. I refused to pay. He asked me how much I paid and then just handed me the keys. I found this a very embarrassing conversation in a public bar. If I do return I will print out my email proving I paid..

Highly recommend atmosphere and area walkable on promo. Beautiful bar with live music fab outside seating. Room was amazing ground floor room 4 beautiful views of slieve Donard rain fall shower and a king size bed couch and vanity area was a plus. Will definitely be back.
